Why didn’t Karoline Leavitt initially say the video was wrong, was posted by a staffer, and apologize?

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

Donald Trump is a virulent racist. His sycophants—JD Vance and Kristi Noem at the lead—who’ve parroted his hateful slurs and attempted to expel Black and brown peoples are just as vile. It’s a great pleasure, then, to see and hear jurists such as Anna Reyes put them in their places.
Editorial—In a remarkable decision blocking the end of TPS for Haitians, US District Court Judge Anna Reyes blasted away at the Trump regime’s moral corruption and the white supremacist impulses that animate his attempt to purge the country of Black and brown people.
